Nascimento, Milton
Milton
Milton is the fourth studio album by Brazilian musician Milton Nascimento, released in 1970. The album features the progressive rock band Som Imaginário and it is considered to be one of the most significant albums in the Minas Gerais music scene of the 1970s. The album's use of diverse musical styles, dense instrumentation, and innovative studio work laid the foundation for his subsequent album, the masterpiece Clube da Esquina (our HE72007). The opening track of the album, "Para Lennon e McCartney", was composed by Lô Borges, Fernando Brant, and Márcio Borges. The inspiration for the lyrics came from Lô's reflection on the partnership between Lennon and McCartney following the Beatles' announcement of their breakup. The album cover and inside poster, designed by Kélio Rodrigues, depict Milton as a king.
